I have a modem on COM2: (/dev/tty01), and I have successfully used it to dial out (using kermit, or tip, etc). And, I understand how to configure the serial port to run getty, and give a login prompt on the port. My problem is: how do I give the modem the required commands to have it auto-answer? Once I configure the tty to have getty running on it, it locks the port, and I can not connect to it. Has anyone done this? -- Jeff Wilson wilson@vnet.ibm.com IBM EDA/PD East Fishkill, NY
